Off topic, but Jamnia “codified” it by the Jews and for the Jews. The Church was working on the canon of the Old Testament till the African Councils in early 5 c.

Let’s get back on topic.

Where EXACTLY did Jesus say that Confession was secret and His priests were forbidden from reporting crimes against children to authorities?

Chapter and Verse, please.

Off topic, the Jewish fathers at the Jemnia Council only confirmed what was inspired in the Old Testament in 1 c. None of the New Testament ever uses any of the books established by the African Councils four centuries later.

But that is another discussion. And since you may or may not accept what is in the Old Testament, what difference does it matter?

The first claim is dubious (see above post), while as regards the second, the historical reality is that In reality, scholarly disagreements over the canonicity (proper) of certain books continued down through the centuries and right into Trent, until it provided the first "infallible," indisputable canon - after the death of Luther. Who had some significant RC support for his non-binding canon.
